Suggests Removal Of Vegetable Ceiling
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The view that ceiling prices for vegetables should be eliminaited was advanced by the president of the Dominion Council of Commercial Gardeners (Mr B. V. Cooksley) at the annual conference in Wellington yesterday. Numbers would admit that stabilisation had been necessary, although unpopular, during the w'ar, he said, but with the war over the time had coins to tell the Government that the question of ceiling prices on the wholesale side was not working efficiently. Costs had increased considerably and growers would have to determine a case for revision of the present ceiling prices: He felt the prices should be eliminated. He pointed out that for the greater part of the year prices did not reach the ceiling, but they were pegged for the remainder of the year and prevented compensation for low prices. The conference will consider 63 remits during a three-day session.
